35.Dt NGE 4 36.Os 37.Sh NAME 38.Nm nge 39.Nd "National Semiconductor PCI Gigabit Ethernet adapter driver" 40.Sh SYNOPSIS |
41To compile support for the 42.Nm 43driver into your kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: 44.Bd -ragged -offset indent |
45.Cd "device miibus" 46.Cd "device nge" |
47.Ed 48.Pp 49Alternatively, to load the 50.Nm 51driver at boot time, place the following line in 52.Xr loader.conf 5 : 53.Bd -literal -offset indent 54if_nge_load="YES" 55.Ed |
56.Sh DESCRIPTION 57The 58.Nm 59driver provides support for various NICs based on the National Semiconductor 60DP83820 and DP83821 Gigabit Ethernet controller chips. 61.Pp 62The DP83820 supports TBI (ten bit interface) and GMII 63transceivers, which means it can be used with either copper or 1000baseX --- 170 unchanged lines hidden --- |
